Nothing But A Game

Chapter 8

I used to roll the dice. Feel the fear in my enemies eyes. Listen as the crowd would sing 'Now the old king is dead, long live the king.'..Vida La Viva...Coldplay

Hey guys I know this chapter isn't gonna be good but I'm gonna try to make it longish. Its gonna reveal quite a bit about Luke and his family.

So yeah

Read well c:

Kara's POV

I wake up on my bed and I turn on my side to see Luke beside me. He's so cute when he's sleeping...NOT. He looks like a train wreck. His mouth is open and he is curled up in a little ball like a 8 year old. He looks way better awake.

I giggle to myself because of the way he looks.

Then something clicks.

Why is he in my bed???

I thought he would have left when I fell asleep last night...I guess not.

All I remember is watching movies with him and then falling asleep while talking to him. Then I heard a voice...I am not so sure it was his though. It said "Good night beautiful, dream of me."

I am not even sure who said that...or why...

I get up from my bed and go to the bathroom and look at myself in the mirror. Damn..I don't look any better than him. My hair is in the craziest and ugliest messy bun ever. It looks more like a bird nest up there. I go back into my room and grab some clothes to take a shower.

When I got out the shower Luke is just sitting on my bed looking extremely hot and very shirtless. His hands are on his head and he is looking down at the ground. He looks stressed and he seems to be counting. Shit. He's counting.

"Luke.." he looks up at me and there are tears in his eyes.

"Hi Kara." he says, voice cracking.

I quickly rush over to him and hug him. "She's dead." he says crying.

"Who?" I look into his eyes.

"My mom. She's dead Kara! She's dead!"...his mom....what? how?

"The last time..the last..the the" that's all he could manage to say.

"Its ok Luke. Ok. Shh shh shh don't cry c'mon you know how I get. I'll start crying too. Please Luke...shh shh. I'm here for you." I'm trying to calm him down but then he gets silent. Completely silent. This is not good..not good at all. Now I would much rather he just cry. At least then I'd see some emotion.

I hate it when he gets like this. He turns off all emotion for anything. No smiling, laughing, crying, anger...nothing. He just kinda stares into space all day. Its like he's in a coma but he's awake. His responses are all 'yes' or 'no'. And if you say something that requires more than that he simply doesn't answer.

I can't remember the last time he was like this.

Yes you can you just don't want to so you act like you don't.
